From Googling, my understanding is that Olfa blades will fit in the Martelli cutter; however, the Olfa blades have extra grooves in them which will wear out the Martelli screw.

Incidentally, by Googling I see that the Martelli cutter is also sold as an ERgo 2000 cutter; may be less expensive purchased that way. Overstock.com has the right-handed Martelli (but shows a picture of the black-handled left-handed Martelli) for $17.

Amazon has the left-handed cutter for $21 including shipping.
